name;
lawrence (laurie) calbridge 
age;
twenty eight
appearance;
REALLY tall and really lanky, which makes him look like a dork, which he is. He's practically blind so his glasses are ridiculously thick, and his hair is slightly wavy super dirty blond but usually impeccable. He has a strong jaw and an always serious expression, but it's kind of calming tbh. He doesn't own anything other than button-down shirts and he actually uses pen protectors like what the heck. And he will literally cry if he ever loses his wristwatch, which doesn't happen often because he never takes it off even in the freaking shower. Overall an alien.
gender/sexuality;
cis male/ghey as heck
bio;
he's one of those guys that never says anything about his sexuality but he LOOKS """"normal"""" so people just sort of assume he's straight until one day they catch him kissing another guy outside of calc class and that's how he came out oops; and it was just sort of like 'oh.' In short, it's no big deal, and because he naturally keeps to himself, people have tended to just leave him alone. Taunts don't faze him whatsoever. But yeah, he's actually in his first year as a practicing physician and going through a really hard break-up-- don't mention it or he will cry--. Being a doctor totally suits him though because he's generally inclined to help people, and even though he talks like he's really laid back he gets really interested in everything. He knows how to talk to people without getting them angry, but his real downfall is that he's physically weak. When people do get angry, he's not able to hold his own in a fight and he's way too passive for his own good. Because of that, he had trouble defending his little brother growing up. Still, they have an adequately good relationship, well, normal in terms of how sibling relationships generally go. He worries about his brother a lot and he makes a point to prove it by constantly calling/texting way more often than necessary. But he's a good person. He just gets overexcited and cries a lot.
other; once wanted to be a surgeon but considering his eyesight, he figured he'd probably be putting more people in danger than it's worth.

name;
robin calbridge
age;
twenty one
appearance;
tall and lanky runs in the family. Dark brown eyes, dang smooth skin like how does he do it, but a really pointy jaw and a thin neck that makes his passability questionable at times. Being thin helps hide some feminine features, and he actually does okay most of the time. He has zero fashion sense though.  Skinny jeans and plaid shirts? Cool. Ratty T-shirts and jeans with more holes in them than plotholes in dark knight rises? Totally. Sweatpants? Aaaaaayy. He's an artist. Artists have an excuse to never actually get dressed in the morning. 
gender/sexuality;
trans male/questionable? 
bio;
childhood was rough. He expressed male tendencies that got him labeled as a 'cute little tomboy' through elementary school, which really annoyed him but there really wasn't much he could do about it. Middle school was the WORST though; kids are cruel and suddenly he was a lesbian and a dyke and all sorts of horrible names. He wasn't necessarily punched or thrown into a trashcan, but he was pushed around a lot and of course the emotional bullying was terrifying. He tried reciprocating and ended up getting into a lot of fights.  That on top of gender dysphoria lead to a dark period of self-harm and nobody know about that or his gender except for his older brother, who vowed to keep it a secret even though he really shouldn't have but hey, they were kids. Robin got way better in high school though. He was never able to come out as anything other than a lesbian, but he found a group of friends that didn't treat him any differently and he ALMOST came out as transgender, and was even encouraged to by laurie, but decided to wait until graduation. Luckily, his parents weren't necessarily lgbtqphobic and laurie had already come out as gay in high school, so they weren't exactly traumatized when robin told them. They're all okay now, though his mother still makes subtle jabs about how she sort of misses her little girl. But hey, robin is in his junior year of college as a fine arts major despite protests by both his parents and he's every bit as lazy as you'd expect an art major to be. Laurie was actually the one who encouraged his art as an alternative to hurting himself, and he actually got ridiculously good at it--who knew. AND he's been seriously considering hormones so hopefully he'll be hopping to it some time soon c:
other; voted most likely to sleep through an earthquake in high school
